  • Objectivist Blog Carnival

    Welcome to the April 19, 2012 edition of the Objectivist Round Up and the 13th time that Erosophia has hosted. This week I want to put up three quotes to remind everyone that nothing should be outside the purview of reason: “Tell me what a man finds sexually attractive and I will tell you his…
